Product Lifecycle - Recycling

Careful selection of recycled and recyclable materials, optimised construction techniques and the labeling of plastic parts with their material type all mean our vehicles can be recycled as efficiently as possible.

Volkswagen Group United Kingdom has partnered with Autogreen (Rewarding Recycling) to provide a Government-approved national network of take back points and certified dismantling companies. The Rewarding Recycling process will ensure that your vehicle is disposed of in a responsible and lawful manner, and that all necessary paperwork is completed in accordance with UK legislation and that all of this is fully auditable route for compliant vehicle disposal.
